Is that calling syntax correct? I'd think it should be:
SELECT foofunc(footable.*, 10) FROM footable;
He's relying on the f(x) === x.f syntactic equivalence, as per the
comments for ParseFuncOrColumn:
Note there are two arguments to foofunc (in either version)
... and the example also relies on the presence of default arguments
for
both functions. This makes both of them match a single-argument call,
resulting in an ambiguous-function situation. The proposed change
would cause it to actually throw an "ambiguous function" error.
Ah! Learned two new things. Thanks, Tom!
